Implications of FRAX ® adjusted for recent fracture on the indication of treatment in an FLS
ConclusionsThe adjusted FRAX ® for recent fractures in an FLS unit in an adjusted FRAX® is irrelevant when calculating FRAX® with DXA; in fact, it is only useful for fractures of the humerus when DXA is not available. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

The association between depression and bone metabolism: a US nationally representative cross-sectional study
ConclusionDepression was associated with lower BMD, particularly in the spine, males, Hispanic-White, and not highly educated populations. Moreover, people with depression were more likely to have fractures and osteoporosis. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

One-year mortality after hip fracture surgery: urban –rural differences in the Colombian Andes
ConclusionsThere was a difference in 1-year mortality between patients from rural and urban areas. More studies must be conducted to determine whether rurality behaves as an independent risk factor or is related to other variables, such as the burden of comorbidities and in-hospital complications.

Experience of a systematic approach to care and prevention of fragility fractures in New Zealand
ConclusionWidespread participation in national registries is enabling benchmarking against clinical standards as a means to improve the care of hip and other fragility fractures in New Zealand. An ongoing quality improvement programme is focused on eliminating unwarranted variation in delivery of secondary fracture prevention. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Patient-specific factors affecting survival following hip fractures —a 14-year follow-up study in Finland
ConclusionsProtective factors for 1-year survival in order of importance were ASA class, BMI, and age, and, correspondingly, for 14-year survival, age, certain operative methods, BMI, and ASA class. The relative survival of hip fracture patients was lower than that of the general population. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles on the treatment of osteoporosis
ConclusionsThis study, which examined the T100 most-cited articles on the treatment of osteoporosis, found that the articles primarily focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and follow-up of osteoporosis; search for antiresorptive and anabolic pharmacological agents; investigation of the efficacy and reliability of these agents on specific subpopulations; and surgical treatment options.

Sarcopenic osteoporosis, sarcopenic obesity, and sarcopenic osteoporotic obesity in the Camargo cohort (Cantabria, Spain)
ConclusionOur study supports the idea that the prevalence of the mixed disorders studied is low. No significant association between osteoporosis and sarcopenia was found. Sarcopenia and obesity seem to tend to occur in different people, as if suffering from one of them hinders suffering from the other. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Efficacy of generic teriparatide and alendronate in Chinese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: a prospective study
ConclusionsTeriparatide was not inferior to alendronate in increasing BMD at lumbar spine in Chinese postmenopausal women, and they achieved these effects through different mechanisms. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Effects of physical exercise on bone mineral density in older postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionOur findings suggest that exercise training may improve bone mineral density in older PMW. This improvement is mediated by increases in the femoral neck, lumbar spine, and trochanter BMD. Further long-term studies are required to confirm these findings. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Relationship between body mass index and fracture risk at different skeletal sites: a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionLow BMI was a risk factor for all tested fractures. Obesity was a risk factor for proximal humerus fracture, but it is a protective factor for wrist fracture. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

The effectiveness of an orthogeriatric service in Ain Shams University, Egypt: a quality improvement study
ConclusionSince the orthogeriatric service began, preliminary data have been encouraging, with significant reductions in time to surgery and length of stay. This along with preoperative medical optimisation and collaborative discharge recommendations has improved overall patient outcomes even though more research is needed.
